Document Summary
No differences between different musical styles they were combined into , music vs non music (baseline) Eeg eeg asymmetry shifts from left(baseline) to right(with music) frontal activity: this is true for all music styles presented, no difference between them. Eeg measured absolute eeg power (lower scores reflect more activation) in left and right hemispheres: more left power in each style of music, therefore less left activity with each style of music. Less right power therefore more right activity with the music: not much discrimination between the emotions. Heart rate- soothing vs fear vs joy. Lower heart period therefore higher heart rate for the soothing music: similar heart period/rates for fear and joy conditions, lower heart rates than soothing, perhaps due to higher attention load, resulting in slower heart rate. Summary of findings: study 1: adult musical emotions. Greater relative right frontal eeg activity independent of valence (types of emotion)
